National Fostering Standards

National Fostering Standards are a set of guidelines that ensure fostering agencies provide safe, supportive, and effective care for children in foster placements. They outline best practices for recruitment, training, support, and supervision of foster carers, as well as safeguarding children's wellbeing and rights. These standards aim to ensure consistent quality of care across all foster homes, promote positive outcomes for children, and maintain accountability within the fostering system. Overall, they serve to protect children and support foster carers in their vital role.
